"Leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's so simple.This is the most important predicament humanity has ever faced and by design as a result of the enormous oppressive power of the fossil fuel industry, we're flunking it." George Monbiot.
No time to waste. #ActOnClimate
It is a pivotal moment in our history.
So what needs to happen at COP30?
💰 Climate Damages Tax to make the polluters pay
⚖️ Fund climate justice for the Global South
❌ Keep fossil fuels in the ground
🌳 End deforestation by 2030
⏩ Global just transition now
Just imagine a sane, better world, where govts. actually cared about the future. They would meet regularly with young people like Greta, to seek their advice & then act decisively on it, & it would be fossil fuel executives who get arrested for protesting.

After a summer of wildfire and floods, and records broken here in the UK, yesterday's announcement is barely fathomable. Future generations will ask why, after these stark signs, the government would put this country’s global leadership on climate change into reverse.
Fairness should absolutely be central to any change, but it is not fair that our children will have their future blighted by the poor decisions made today. It isn't fair that businesses that have invested heavily in pioneering green technologies and the jobs of tomorrow will have to put their plans on ice, nor that changes in policy endanger our much-loved cultural heritage and natural environment, undermining everything from food security to our health and wellbeing. And it isn't fair that the poorest in our society will lose out most in the future.
Progress towards Net Zero must be sustained, not kicked down the road for political expediency.
We urge the Prime Minister and his Government to rethink.
It’s an almost daily cascade into future misery and chaos led by woeful ignorance and an abject disregard for well founded scientific and practical advice . By the time we get to hell they will have scrapped , privatised or simply stolen the handcart https://t.co/1lJOGqNWFW

Sometimes I'm asked why loss of one species matters. You can't get better than this..large scale example of species habitat engineers. Why every species counts. https://t.co/m6oZAXmuRI
I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries
Many replying "why no help for people who work, just those who do nothing". Actually 40%ish of those on Universal Credit are working - means tested benefits includes in-work benefits.
A decent chunk of the rest have illness, disabilities or are carers. Its not binary.
